Source
pub fn set_thread_res_uid(ruid: Uid, euid: Uid, suid: Uid) -> Result<()>
Expand description

setresuid(ruid, euid, suid)—Sets the real, effective, and saved user ID of the calling thread.

§Warning

This is not the setresuid you are looking for… POSIX requires uids to be process granular, but on Linux they are per-thread. Thus, this call only changes the uid for the current thread, not the entire process even though that is in violation of the POSIX standard.

For details on this distinction, see the C library vs. kernel differences in the manual page and the notes in set_thread_uid. This call implements the kernel behavior.
